I would like to take a moment to thank all of the members of this forum who helped me with tips and information, that made this swap successful.
This is my first Ford powered vehicle, with a EFI swap.
I am a Auto Shop Instructor, and the project vehicle is my 1999 Ford Ranger 2wd. This engine swap was performed by high school students that are enrolled in my Auto Technology class. This swap has taken more time than it should have, but given the mechanical ability of the average high school student, I am pleased with their timeframe and their results. The basis of this swap was to show today`s young and upcoming future technicians that performance engine swaps can be performed, while staying within EPA emission guidelines.
We have a couple little drips from the trans cooler lines, but thankfully we didn't have any major issues.
Hope to have everything tightened up this week and embark on it's maiden voyage.
Thanks!
